Brief Summary

This study is a multi-center observational study without interventions, including the construction of an AI diagnostic model and retrospective testing of a multi-center cohort. The study participants are bladder cancer patients who have undergone imaging examinations, been pathologically diagnosed, and received neoadjuvant treatment, with complete clinical and pathological data. The study plans to enroll 130 patients from our center, collecting corresponding imaging images, and gathering clinical and genomic data to build and internally validate a multimodal AI model. The model's generalization and robustness will be tested to explore the association between multimodal data and the efficacy of neoadjuvant treatment for bladder cancer. The aim is to assist clinicians in predicting and evaluating the efficacy of neoadjuvant treatment for bladder cancer, with the goal of improving patient diagnosis, treatment outcomes, and prognosis.

Conditions

Cancer; Neoadjuvant Therapy

Keywords

Artificial Intelligence; Multimodal Fusion; Therapy Prediction; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Digital Pathology

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• sensitivity

  the number of correctly diagnosed positive patient (sensitive to therapy), to be divided by the number of patients in total.

  For each enrolled patient, the diagnosis results of AI model will be obtained in several days after neoadjuvant therapy, and the sensitivity of the AI model will be evaluated through study completion, an average of 3 year.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• specificity

  For each enrolled patient, the diagnosis results of AI model will be obtained in several days after neoadjuvant therapy, and the specificity of the AI model will be evaluated through study completion, an average of 3 year.

Study Arms (1)

Patients with bladder cancer undergoing neoadjuvant therapy

Patients pathological diagnosed with bladder cancer undergoing neoadjuvant therapy.

Diagnostic Test: Artificial intelligence (AI)-based diagnostic model

Interventions

Artificial intelligence (AI)-based diagnostic model DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Collect magnetic resonance imaging and pathological slides of resected tumor of the enrolled patients. Analyze the data using the AI model to generate diagnostic results (sensitive or insensitive to the neoadjavant therapy). No intervention to patients would be performed in this diagnostic test study.

Patients with bladder cancer undergoing neoadjuvant therapy

Eligibility Criteria

• Sex: all
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients with pathologically confirmed bladder cancer who undergo neoadjuvant therapy and radical cystectomy are planned to be enrolled in this diagnostic test to assess the model's clinical application capability.

You may qualify if:

• Bladder occupying lesions, with histopathological confirmation of bladder cancer after resection.
• Planned neoadjuvant therapy and radical cystectomy.

You may not qualify if:

• Patients who have not undergone standard bladder imaging examinations or have missing imaging or pathological data.
• Patients who have received local treatments (such as interventional embolization) or systemic treatments (such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy).
• Poor quality of imaging or pathological images.
